A Cottage Clothespin Bag
The clothespins at the beach cottage were in a Ziploc bag. Not only very unattractive, but not easy to maneuver with a clothesline and wet towels. I proposed to my mother-in-law that I make a clothespin bag. It was pure fun. To make it cottage-sized, I used a child's plastic hanger. I limited myself to my small-scraps box to piece the exterior. For fun, I used a decorative machine stitch in aqua on several seams.
So cute... I need to make myself one.
ReplyDeleteSherbet colors - Yes! Love it! Perfect for a little cottage : )
ReplyDeleteMy Grandma had one like that :)
ReplyDeleteYour machine does some pretty stitching.
ReplyDeleteSo cute and cheery - will make hanging clothes a treat!
ReplyDeleteIf ever I get a new sewing machine, I would love to have one that does fancy stitching. We used those in home ec in the late 60's to add a border to the small tablecloths we made one year. Was always wistful that my machine didn't do those.
